At the TELS Lab (Technology-Enhanced Learning Sciences) at Leiden University College, we believe the future of education depends on instructional design, collaborative research, and the meaningful use of technology.
To empower students and researchers to explore how cutting-edge technologies can transform learning. We aim to advance educational research that is rigorous, inclusive, and impactful—locally and globally.
We are a student-centered research lab. Students work alongside professors and research experts to design, conduct, and share original studies. Through mentorship and hands-on experience, we bridge academic theory and real-world innovation in education.
TELS was founded to reimagine how we study learning. Drawing from psychology, education, data science, and technology, we’ve created a collaborative environment where curiosity meets evidence—and students become researchers.
Curiosity-Driven: We raise questions and pursue new ideas.
Collaborative: We work across disciplines, cultures, and borders.
Ethical: We promote integrity, openness, and respect in all we do.
Inclusive: We value diverse perspectives and inclusive research practices.
Impact-Focused: We seek research that matters—to learners, teachers, and society.
